' To all whom it may concern:-

Be itknown that I, ALBERT S. MARTEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Orange; in the county-of Essex and State of clear, and exact description of t e invention, isuch as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, refe rence' being had to the accompanymg drawings, and to numerals of reference marked thereon, which form apart of-this specification.

The objects of this invention are to enable amplifying-horns'to be. more rigidly and securely attached to talking-machines, to adapt the support to a greater variety of boxes or cases of said talking-machines, and to enable the horn to be adjusted in its rel'a tages and results, some of which may bereferred to hereinafter in connection with "the description of the working parts. i

The invention consists in the improved horn-support and inthearrangements and combinations of parts of the same, all substantially as will be hereinafter set forth and finally embraced in the clauses 'of the claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,"

in which like numerals of reference-indicate corresponding parts in each of theseveralxfigures, Figure 1 1s a side elevation of; a su port of. my'improved construction attache to a talking machine and an amplifying horn.

' Fig. 2 is. a similarview showing a modifica- Said base-piece is preferably provided with' tion of construction. Fig. 3 isa detail plan of a certain box-inclosing frame. Fig. 4 is a plan of a framework of a modified form. Fig. 5 is a detail view of a certain 'olip, and Fig. 6 is a view of a bearing piece or section in said modified construction.

In said drawings, 6 indicates a horn attached to a talking-machine 7,'having a box or case 71 in any ordinary form. The said case is seated upon a table 8 or other supporting-su'rface, and underneath the same is arranged the baseiece 9, which extends beyondthe vertica sides of the boxor' case a igLreater or less distance to prevent the box om tipping under the weight of .the horn.

beveled opposite edges by means of which a sliding or adjustable piece 10 may be secured thereon by. means of a set-screwll. Said piece 9 may be held u on the box or case, 71 or be held on the tab e or surface 8 by any suitablemeans; It'may be separably held to the bottom of the case or may be held on said surface 8, andinthe construction shownsaid base-piece is of a verticalthickness about equal to the length of the legs 12 of the box .or case, so that said piece may be held firmly in place by merely the weight of the case. The sliding or adjustable piecelO, at or near one end thereof, is provided with a socket 13 to receive a vertical post 14,- which extends upward from the base at the front or rear or at anyone of the sides of the box, as 'indi- 7o cated in Figs. 1 and 2. Said post is fastened in said socket by a set-screw 15 or-other' means, and at a oint above the base near the upper part of the box'or case is firmly held to said box or case by an inclosingfframe -7 5 16. Said frame may be varied at will in'its construction; but for purposes of convenience and adjustabi'lity to cases of various sizes it is preferably formed in sections, as indicated moreclearly in Fig. 3, where 17 18 represent longitudinal front and rear tubular sections, 19 opposite'tubular end sections, and 20 angular corner-sections, the ends of which enter said tubular sections, fitting the same nicely, but slidable therein to permit the frame-tobe' expanded or contracted a to suit the size of the case. The sections are held in-fixed relation after adjustment by means of set-screws 21." To one of the tubular-sections, in vertical line with the socket 13,- is adjustably ar '90 ranged a clip 22, adapted to be clamped upon said tubular sections by means of a clam mgscrew 23. Said clip at its projecting en has a perforated head 24, through which the post I 14 extends from the socket 13 11 Ward to a 5 position to receive the horizontal project in'g bar" 25. Said post'14 is preferably intelescopically-adjustable sections, and the bar 25 is preferably held its horizontal or inclined position by a brace 26, said bar and Ioo may be suspensory means, such. as links, 11o

(shown in Fig. 1,) or a seat, as in Fig. 2. By the construction thus provided the horn-support may besecurely attached to boxes of varying horizontal size and be adjusted to receive and hold the horn, at various positions to direct the sound as conditions may render desirable.

I am aware that various changes other than those above referred to may be made in the detail construction of my improved hornsupport without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, and in Fig. 4 I have illustrated such a modified construction, in which case the corner-sections are tubular and the frame does not completely inclose the box, the end sections 19 being threaded and furnished with bearirig-sections 33, which are clamped against the box by means of threaded thumb-nuts 34, the said bearings opposing that part of the frame having the clip 22.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is 1. The improved horn-support, comprising a base-piece adapted to lie beneath the bottom of the box or case, a frame adapted to inclose the said box, a clip fixed upon said frame, a post extending upward from said base-piece through said clip and a horizontally extending bar supported by said post and adapted to support the large end of the horn,

substantially as set forth.

2. The improved horn-support, comprising a base-piece adapted to lie beneath the bottom of the box or case, a sectional frame adapted to inclose the said box, a clip fixed upon said frame, a post extending upward fromsaid base-piece through said clip, and a horizontally-extending bar supported by said post and adapted to support the large end of the horn, substantially as set forth.

3. The improved horn-support, comprising a a base-piece adapted to lie beneath the bottom of the box or case, a frame adapted to inclose said box, a clip detachably secured to :said frame, a post extending upward from said base-piece through said clip, and a horizontally-extending bar supported by said post and adapted to support the large end of v the horn, substantially asset forth.

4. The improved horn-support, comprising a base-piece adapted to lie beneath the bot- "tom of the box or case, a socket at its upper side, a frame adapted to inclose the said box, a clip fixed upon said frame, a post extending upward from said socket through said clip, and a horizontally-extending bar supported by said post and adapted to support the large end of the horn, substantially as set forth.

5. Tue improved horn-support, comprising a base-piece adapted to lie beneath the bottom of the box or case, a frame comprising tubular sections and angular sections set within said tubular sections and together adapted to inclose the said box, a clip fixed upon said frame, a post extending upward from said base-piece through said clip, and a horizontally-extending bar supported by said post and adapted to support the large end of the horn, substantially as set forth.

6. The combination with a post and means supported thereby to support the horn, of a frame to engage the box or case, and a clip with means adapted to fix said clip to the frame and means to fix said clip'to the post, substantially as set forth.

7. The improved horn-stand, comprising a base-piece having a socket adjustably seated thereon, a post, means for fixing said post to said socket, a clip on said post above said socket for fixing said post to the case, a frame detachably secured to the case and adapted to be engaged by said clip, and means supported on said post for supporting the horn, substantially as set forth.

8. The improved horn-stand, comprising a base-piece having a socket adjustably seated thereon, a post, means for fixing said post to said socket, a clip adjustably fixed on said post above said socket and a frame having sections in telescopically-adjustable relation to engage the box or case, and means supported on'said post for supporting the horn, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 29th day of October, 1904.
